Em Portugal precisavamos de fazer um video destes e publicar em todos os canais televisivos para a população em geral saber exactamente o que é ser enfermeiro e a importancia capital que têm na saúde dos utentes. Adorei o vídeo.

I am a nursing student here in the philippines and I can say that many people even the ones in nursing do not seem to see the distinction between medicine and nursing and so tend to downplay nursing as to physician's aide or something... I was even once guilty of it I admit... but if you truly understand what nursing is, you will srely appreciate it because it is the one single profession-vocation that requires scientific and evidenced-based practice as well as a holistic approach to a person.

I am a nursing student at Ryerson University and I must say that as much as nurses try to walk and talk many many nurses (especially teachers)in my experience don't. Nursing culture feels to be more than slightly self defeating. Despite all the stereotypes that appear to hold back nursing as a profession, it is my opinion that nurses can be their own worst enemies.

FYI, most of the time the docs ask the nurse what WE think the next step should be regarding pt care. The residents ask us Nurses what to do, we help train them, we do the bulk of the work, the doc usually just gives the yes or no after us nurses make suggestions.
